Chronicling the day to day lives of a group of women who call Wisteria Lane home, Desperate Housewives was a popular comedy-drama series that ran for 8 seasons on ABC. Featuring actresses Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher, and Eva Longoria as the main cast, Desperate Housewives followed the ups and downs of life in the mysterious town of Fairview, a fictious city located in the Eagle State. The series was particularly popular with female viewers throughout its run.

Each season of the series featured a different plot line, as the main characters fought to deal with certain aspects of their changing lives. From extramarital affairs to murderous liasons, Wisteria Lane was home to plenty of drama over the course of 8 seasons. The series begins with the suicide of another woman in the neighborhood, with subplots featuring the personal lives of each of the women calling Wisteria Lane home. In seasons to come, the show continually showed the development of each female character, while adding in new twists and turns that kept audiences riveted.

After eight successful seasons, the ladies of Wisteria Lane said goodbye in the series finale, which was broadcast in May of 2012. The television show will continue to be shown in syndication, not only in the United States, but also in several countries abroad. Over the course of the show's run, Desperate Housewives received many different accolades, including several Screen Actor's Guild, Emmy, and Golden Globe Awards. The show's actresses were also rewarded with several industry awards for their performance on Desperate Housewives.

Mario Lopez recently called out “Desperate Housewife” star Eva Longoria on the rumors that she was dating Jets quarterback.
“You’re an a**hole,” was her response.
But don’t worry, Lopez and Longoria have been friends a long time, so the insult was more than likely meant in good humor. Probably.
But the “Extra” host was just voicing what many have been wondering after multiple pictures of the two together have cropped up.

Nicollette Sheridan's civil case against her old bosses is as over as "Desperate Housewives."
The California Court of Appeals recently reviewed Sheridan's previous wrongful dismissal trial that ended a declared mistrial March 19, Deadline reports. Friday, the court announced that "it is further ordered that the retrial currently set for September 10 is hereby stayed pending further order of the court.."
Defendants Touchstone Television Productions and ABC Studios had made the argument that under California law, declining to renew a contract is not "wrongful dismissal.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Anne White has denied Disney and ABC's defense motion to dismiss Nicollette Sheridan's wrongful termination claim, and set a negotiated Sept. 10 start date for the former "Desperate Housewives" star's retrial.
White had originally set forth a June 4 start and 12-day limit on the new proceedings following a hung jury being declared March 19 in the first trial, Deadline reports. Instead, after some objections to the June start by the defense, White and both parties settled upon proceedings running no longer than Sept.

With the "Desperate Housewives" finale looming after eight seasons, former co-star Nicollette Sheridan's wrongful termination suit has likewise been laid to rest - albeit, much less definitively.
A Los Angeles jury informed Judge Elizabeth White Monday that they couldn't decide one way or another whether or not it was a 2008 rehearsal spat between Sheridan and series creator Marc Cherry that caused her firing. The final tally after three days' deliberation favored Sheridan 8-4.

It's not a complete resolution, but a Tuesday ruling may make Nicollette Sheridan's wrongful termination lawsuit's resolution simpler to come by.
Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Allen White instructed after testimony ended that jurors would not consider Sheridan's battery claim against "Desperate Housewives" creator Marc Cherry, reports the Associated Press. The case is now left to a question of whether Sheridan was fired over an on-set dispute with Cherry, or if - as her attorneys claim - highers-ups had decided a while before that Sheridan would be let go and the dispute was used as a justification.
